hi all, i was just wondering how long the ai continue to touch and go when they get started? i watched one for a while but it didnt stop the code is - AC#2,R441,1%,2Hr,VFR,01:15:00,TNG02:00:00,060,R,0000,MYAF,03:15:00,TNG02:00:00,060,R,0000,MYAF - cheers, James

I keep mostly UT traffic on, and the heavies never do the T&G's

It is defined by the departure and arrival times. Starts at the departure time, ends at arrival time. That said, I can't make sense out of the string you've posted - looks like 45 minutes in the first leg, the rest of the day on the second leg.? Gotta pull out that ttools manual again.

lol, that would be a sight, im just using old and small GA planes so they dont have that problem, i would prefer if the ai started touching and going (?!) in the morning stopped for lunch and then finished in the evening, that would be good, then at night i could implement some kind of smuggling flights :) anyone? cheers, James

You have a lot of addons and im curious your settings and performance.

thanks for that, the arrival times were set by ttools, im not sure why the second set is so different from the first though.... James

>Gridly: Off topic.>What are your setting in FS2004 and you AA/AF settings? You run at >1280x960 res? You have a lot of addons and im curious your settings >and performance.I run at 1024x768x32 with 2xQ AA and 2xAA - I use an old 17" monitor which won't support any higher with a reasonable refresh rate.I have 100% AI (with UT) except at large airports like JFK, ATL where I reduce to ~40% when departing or arriving. 95% mesh. Autogen and Scenery at "Very Dense". I've deleted my default.xml and I have installed Chris' HighestFPS clouds. all other setting max.I have previously locked FPS at 20 and it stayed there except around new york - dropped to 12-15. When I use FSUIPC to reduce AI to 40%, I can hold 17-18fps around NYC. Currently I have unlimited the FPS, typically flying around new england, on a clear day, easily see 30-40 fps, with clouds 20-30 fps, overcast or really complicated AS2004 weather, 18-23 fps.That cover it?sg

thought i would add my 2 cents on this one to, i run the sim at 1152x862 @ 90Hz, with 4x AA and 8x AS (reduced from 16X because of excessive clould related low frame rates) i get around 30 - 50 fps around the bahamas and around 10 - 25 at heathrow (clear weather). funnily enough changing the water fx to high kills the rates from around 40 to 10 - 15! so im not to happy about that.... and i sorted the original probelm, kudos to you guys who prompted me to download the ttools help file, not sure why i didnt before! cheers, James---make that AF, plus all the settings in fs maxed except the view and cloud distance.
